Description

Virgin coconut oil, cold-pressed from the white “meat” of the coconut, consists almost entirely of the saturated fatty acids lauric acid and myristic acid. Its unusual fatty acids profile means that coconut oil cannot contain harmful transfats, since these can only be created out of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Indeed, the high content of saturated fats makes coconut oil ideal for frying, since it is extremely stable at high temperatures. For the same reason, coconut oil has a very long shelf life (up to two years). Coconut oil is sometimes unfairly accused of being unhealthy due to its high content of saturated fats. However, unlike the saturated fatty acids found in animal fats and some vegetable fats, the saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are much shorter (they are called “medium-chain tryglicerydes” as against the “long-chain tryglicerydes” in animal fats). These shorter saturated fatty acids do not have the widely documented health risks associated with long-chain fatty acids. On the contrary, researchers regularly point to the robust health of Pacific Island communities (heavy consumers of coconut oil) as an indication of the healthy nature of virgin coconut oil.

As a Skin Treatment

Virgin coconut oil has for centuries been used as a remedy by traditional healers to nurture the body, mind and spirit. It is ideal as an all over body moisturiser and skin conditioner especially for sensitive skins. It may be helpful in topical relief for skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis and after sun relief, through its cooling and soothing properties.

The oil can be slightly warmed to ensure that it is very liquid. You then massage 2 to 4 teaspoons (depending on the volume of hair) into the hair and leave it in the hair for 1 to 2 hours. Alternatively you can leave it on overnight (you will need to cover your pillow with a towel). After that you will wash your hair with your favourite natural shampoo. This can be repeated 2 x weekly. VCO will also help control dandruff.

As a Cooking Oil

Virgin coconut oil contains a unique group of saturated fats known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) the same unique set of MCTs that are also found in human breast milk (mothers milk) Traditional knowledge supports coconut oil as the richest vegan source of Lauric Acid, found only in Mother’s Milk and Virgin Coconut Oil in concentrations of up to 50%.

The Coconut oil has many benefits:

Easy Absorption

Most oils contains long chain fatty acids which are absorbed slower into the body due to the fact that they must be emulsified by bile salts in the small intestine before they can be absorbed into our body. The short and medium-chain fatty acids contained in coconut oil is absorbed directly and this is more easily digestible and converted into quick energy.

The Good Oil

Research has found that medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which are created when digesting MCTs in coconut oil, enhance the absorption of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, B-group vitamins as well as fat soluble vitamins A, D, and K.

Weight Management

Virgin coconut oil’s unique properties make it an ideal addition to any weight management program. A study conducted on a population, where coconut oil is a staple, showed that metabolic rates of the individuals within the population were 25 percent higher than in comparable test subjects. It is recognised that an increased metabolic rate is a key to healthy weight management and may account for the leanness of people living in areas where coconut oil is consumed on a daily basis. Coconut oil yields fewer calories than any other oils. MCA’s actually speed up metabolism so we can more efficiently burn the calories we eat.

Enjoying Virgin Coconut Oil

The saturated nature of virgin coconut oil proves to be highly resistant to heat and light. It has the highest smoke point of all natural oils (approx. 180°C), making it ideal for baking and frying, without causing the breakdown into trans fatty acids or rancidity often associated with vegetable oils. It has the slight aroma and taste of the beautiful fresh fruit. Ideal for curries and Asian dishes, it’s great when sautéing onions, baking or frying potatoes, scrambled eggs or simply spread on toast. You can blend it with other healthy oils such as olive oil, use it in smoothies and salad dressing, or enjoy it straight from the spoon. Recommended daily intake is three tablespoons a day.

Please note: The 500ml option comes in a glass jar while the 400ml and 1l come in a plastic container.

would definitely buy this over and over. its rich as compared to nature's choice brand. my sons likes it in his porridge. he also consumes it often straight from the bottle during winter when its in its solid state.

I love it. It makes my skin feel so soft like that of a baby. It gives a radiant glow.I feel so beautiful and more confident.
Use it as a body cream, last year I struggled with an allergy, been to skin specialist, nothing helped until a friend came and added cannibis oil with the crede coconut oil...After that I am just using this product on my whole body, facial etc..Never looked back...My favourite!!!!Also value for money.

Love this coconut oil. Have been using it daily for years. You can cook with it, bake with it.. I’ve made natural deodorant with it as well as a natural toothpaste. One of my favorites and never not without this product in our home.

Love, love , love the Crede products, particularly this coconut oil. Its the best thing for my dry skin, keeping me moisturised all day. Also love the coconut scent and the fact that its such a multipurpose oil. I'll keep returning to purchase this!

I chose the size that comes in a glass jar as opposed to plastic tub. I wish the other sizes also came in glass.
I use this for oil pulling and as a hair mask. Never used coconut oil before and am pleasantly surprised. Will certainly repurchase.

LOVE it! Placed an urgent order recently as I was about to head back to UAE and I must say this has been doing wonders to my hair in the hot and dry climate. I add tea tree oil and apply after washing. It's amazing and smells great

This is my first brand of Coconut oil. I use it to stir fry, to fry spices for soup and to deep fry fish. It has a high burning point, which makes it much easier to use for frying. The delicious aroma is an added bonus.

This is my favourite coconut oil. I use it for cooking, as make-up remover, body mosturiser, as well as my kids after a bath and my twin babies as a bum cream and when they had cradle cap. Such a multi purpose product and I find this one is the best quality! Im never without this.

Crede coconut oil is the absolute best!! I use it for absolutely everything, from hair to skin and cooking. It is really a superior coconut oil. Beautiful consistency and great smell!
Also, I love that they use glass jars.

Really good natural organic coconut oil , with original fragrant coconut smell. I use it as a nipple cream as well as to massage my newborn after bath time. Leaves skin feeling supple and moisturized. A little goes a long way and one time could last you up to even a year. Goof value for money.

Love this product! I originally bought it as a moisturiser and bum cream for my baby, but also use it for frying food, and recently in the blueberry and chia chocolate recipe on your blog! Yum! A little also goes a long way!

If i had known that coconut oil smelled so yummy i would have bought it a long time ago. I used this for my body lotion mix and it really helps with my naturally itchy skin. It melts on the skin and absorbs really well.

I have been using other coconut oil brands which I was happy with for my skin. However, I decided to try the Crede Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and I am glad I did. The oil itself is super smooth and not only does it stay on better, it seems to be a lot less greasy then the other brands I was using. I can notice a definite difference in the softness of my skin. I LOVE it.

This coconut oil is BY FAR the BEST thing that has ever happened to me! I use it for pretty much my whole life. From cooking, to baking, hair conditioner, home-made deo, face cream, make-up remover.. the list goes on. Crede make a STUNNING Coconut Oil & I'm so grateful for all the coconuts they have used that have helped make my life so healthy and happy.

I prefer coconut oil that actually smells like you are eating a coconut, as then you know it is genuine. Crede's coconut oil is amazing and has this divine coconut smell and taste. I have been using this to cook with and I love the depth that it adds to my meals. The best part is whilst cooking with it, I use it as a moisturiser for my hands and lips.

I use this for everything - cooking, baking, body, and especially in my morning and afternoon cappuccinos. There is nothing more decadent than a creamy cappuccino created by using half a teaspoon of Crede's coconut oil

Love love love coconut oil! I only use the cold pressed organic virgin one as it is absolutely natural, I use this on my face and body as a moisturiser almost every night, it works so well for my skin plus the smell is great! I love buying the glass jar as it is better than plastic and i can re-use the jar afterwards

It's slightly cheaper to buy a 1 litre coconut oil tub in the shops like Dischem and so on. It's all the same really, it just has to be cold-pressed organic pure coconut oil. It's great for cooking and great for the skin. I like using it as a moisturiser in the summer months for the lovely scent and moisture and protection it give.

This is one oil that should be in everyone's cupboard. What more can I say, you can eat this guy, use him as a spread, apply him on your skin and even your hair! Best of all he won't kill you or make you sick.

Great product, I use it for cooking and for my skin as a moisturizer. At first my husband complained a little about our food smelling like coconut oil, I didnt notice it, and it doesn't bother me, but he seems to like it now

Love the flavour of this coconut oil, and it is cost effective to boot! This is a daily staple for me, I love cooking with it combined with grass-fed butter, adding it to coffee, and just taking a tablespoon or two straight out the jar.

You haven't had a bath until you have added a cup of sea salt to a hot bath, and used the AYATE WASH CLOTH with EARTHSAP Honey and Almond Milk Body Wash. Finally, after rinsing, take a handful of sea salt and scrub under your arms, and rinse thoroughly in a hot shower. Turn the shower onto cold, and when you have cooled down, use CREDE Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from top to toe and you are good to go.

Crede Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is the only coconut oil I use. I use it as a skin moisturiser and hair mask. The scent is divine, makes me feel like a freshly baked macaroon!
My dogs love it too, I give them spoonfuls and use it on the shiny, healthy coats :)

Delighted with this purchase, it has cleared up my dry and itchy skin that affected certain areas in my body, my skin is much brighter and healthier now - I will continue to buy this superior brand. My hair feels so much more nourished, silky smooth and soft, goodbye to dry, brittle hair - I hardly have to use hair straighteners anymore as my hair is amazing. I had spots on my arms which I thought was keratosis pilaris (genetic skin disorder that affects 50-80% of adolescents and roughly 40% of adults) - after using this oil these spots that I though were permanent are lightening and I can wear my short sleeves summer tops with ease. I will keep you informed of progress. I am yet to try out other uses of CREDE.

This is by far the best coconut oil that I have ever tried. It really costs much more than other brands but seems so pure sooo good smelling. Can really recommend !!!! Use it in my coffee -lovely. Made a body oil with some essential oils it really moisturises. My skin seems to be coming almost too soft !!! also for cooking. Please try this - you will love it - if you love the smell of coconut

This coconut oil stands out above the others Ive tried. It is a bit more expensive but I love the taste compared to the odourless ones. Would be great if the price can be matched with health shop prices though. Ive found the 1 kg tub at about R20 less at a health shop in Somerset West.

One of the best coconut oils that I have bought. I love the smell of the coconut, the flavour. I add it to my smoothies, my breakfast oats, sometimes just eat it out of the jar. I will definitely be keeping a stock of this in my kitchen cupboard!

I have always enjoyed coconut oil for cooking, but I started to become more adventurous with my applications of coconut oil, and have tried various brands, this one however is my favourite, mostly because it tastes great! ;)

I mix it with my Superthrive for Women, before adding the hot water, and it is so easy to take this way. I also use it as a facial product by mixing it with Epsom salts to create a daily scrub, which makes my skin so soft and supple.

You know its summer when the coconut oil melts! Love this product, use it for cooking as well as hair masks and facials! Lovely texture and price is one of the best I have seen when compared to other over priced coconut oils.

Coconut oil is a beautiful thing... And fantastically versatile! I use mine mainly in my bathroom- as a daily body lotion (which isn sticky and sinks in so quickly) and as a hair mask treatment before washing. It really is brilliant stuff :) Plus, the faint natural smell of coconut whisks me away to a tropical paradise every morning- reason enough to give this stuff a go daily!

this oil is just sooo delicious! I spread it on my muffins or fruit, use it in my roasts or stir fry, a spoonful in my coffee or just straight to my mouth- yes, it tastes that delicious. I use it as a moisturizer for my hair, body and face all the while trying to resist the urge to lick myself! This should be a household staple

This is the number 1 organic staple in my everyday living. Crede coconut oil is incredibly versatile and replaces numerous items in my home. It is a much healthier alternative oil for cooking and baking and the foods taste great. It is a favorite in making granola. I use it for Oil Pulling. Very hydrating as a body lotion and great for a golden suntan. I mix coconut oil with a few drops of essential rosemary and cedarwood oils for an amazing hair treatment once a week. It is a great facial moisturizer and the only makeup remover I use (my eyelashes have grown longer and thicker). After using and cleaning my potjie pot I rub a thin layer of coconut oil onto the inside and pack it away until the next use, this avoids rusting. Before using again I give it a rinse, residue gives the potjie food a nice flavour.

I recently decided to incorporate organic coconut oil into by beauty arsenal, and I was shocked that as a leave on moisturizer, this was not nearly as greasy as I expected and actually absorbed nicely. I use this under another moisturizer at night for a boost of hydration, and it causes no problems for my combo/oily breakout prone skin. I use this on my naturally wavy hair, to add hydration, shine, and control and it works wonderfully, because a lot of hair products tend to break me out as well. As a makeup remover, I will rub this onto dry skin, breaking up all my makeup, then wet my face and add my foaming cleanser and rinse it all off, and it helps keep my foaming cleanser (Everyone Soap-Coconut + Lemon) from drying me out, but also gets everything off in on sweep.

Am I allowed to say that choosing between Crede Organic and Kapruka Organic virgin coconut oil is a difficult decision ?
However, with my first order of Crede Oil I did find that after quite a long time it did develop a slight stale smell [the correct word just walked out of my mind] but there again I must also admit that It lived in my Kitchen cabinet and suffered the highs and lows of summer heat. Throughout winter I did not experience this problem.
As a hand moisturizer, I spend a lot of time with dirty oil encrusted hands, I find it beautiful after scrubbing my hands. Hair treatment, with Hemp Shampoo to follow, seems to encourage my hair to grow; as a general moisturiser, especially after a shower and shave - Beautiful.
Cooking - the delicate flavour adds that something exotic to all preparations.

Its wonderfully nourishing as a hair treatment but unfortunately too pore clogging as a facial product for me. I love melting some coconut oil before my shower, and after I have washed, I moisturize with it all over my body, fantastic for dry skin and nice to know Im moisturizing such a large area of my skin with such a pure natural product.

I have really long hair and I use this product on my hair twice a month as a hair treatment (Leave in for the night and wash off in the morning.) My hair feels soft and moisturized, my scalp feels wonderful and my hair is growing out beautifully again. Love it Thanks!

Coconut oil has so many health benefits and that is why we consume it - for immunity and infection resistance but I have been pleasantly surprised at how many cosmetic uses it has too after reading all the reviews on your website. Thank you.

Will definitely make this a regular purchase! My daughter loves a coconut oil, nut butter and a dash of honey sandwich...the same is delicious in oats for breakfast. I would highly recommend this particular brand.

There really is nothing bad to say about this stuff - I use it for everything, on my face, hair, body - I cook with it, put it in my smoothies ect, ect, ect :) and surprisingly works like a bomb for thrush...

I love this coconut oil! I use it for so many things:- for my hair, as a make-up remover, as lipbalm, as a moisturiser for dry skin, for cooking, I even drink it in my coffee! It smells so good, you want to eat it straight from the tub! Much, much, much better than the kind I bought at the pharmacy, and cheaper too.

Ive been using coconut oil for a while but by far this is the best Ive come across. It mixes wonderfully with my essential oils. It smells absolutely amazing, you just want to eat it up. My hair absolutely loves it, its shiny and soft.

I bought this product, without really knowing what to expect, but wanting to create a more healthy lifestyle. I was pleasantly surprised. I use it in cooking, frying and baking. The coconut taste is not overpowering and quite nice in some dishes as an extra flavour.

Lovely, soft fragrance. Great texture colour associated with the pure form of organic coconut oil. I use it on my whole body, hair and for cooking! Same goes for my fiance. No need for any moisturiser anymore.

Granny is 92 and has diabetes and her mind is (for the most part) not there. Coconut Oil is being added into her oats (natures choice) every morning for the past 6 months and there is such a vast improvement! Shes more with it, less aggressive and her sugar levels are stable!

Had highlights done in december. Wreaked havoc on my waist length hair. I couldn even run a brush through it. However, after using crede oil my hair is soft shiny and smooth. My mom just raves about how wonderful it is.Shes using it too. Been using it since jan and my hair is back to normal only better! Also soil shea butter is marvelous u just need a very small amount

I love Coconut Oil and use it lavishly all over. In my hair, on my face, as a body scrub and eating it. (It makes the most fabulous French toast!)
This is by far the best of the Coconut Oils available locally.

This is the best locally available coconut oil and its delicious. I cook with it, eat it by the spoonful, use it as deodorant and body lotion, put it in my hair and feed it to my dogs, who all go ballistic for their coconut oil!

After reading all the rave reviews of this coconut oil I just had to try some, and believe me it meets all expectations! It smells fantastic, it melts quickly for easy application on your skin or hair, and it tastes delicious with just about anything! :) Its the real deal. Id recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy cooking alternative or a smarter skincare solution. Enjoy!

I have just received this beautiful smelling coconut oil with my latest order. I used it on my hair last night and I am amazed at how shiny and soft it has left my hair after 1 use! I would definitely recommend this product!!

I follow the low carb diet - fits in perfectly. Even make my own toothpaste with it.

30/10/2013, By Monique

I am highly impressed! I use it for everything: from cooking to body oil to a leave-in conditioner for my hair. Love that its healthy and will not go without a jar in the house anymore.

23/10/2013, By Franck

The coconut oil is amazing for the body, it has become my preference.

06/08/2013, By Ash

I bought this initially to add to my porridge and use as a substitute for butter, but after reading all the other reviews, I decided to try it out as suggested as a hair treatment/body oil/lip balm/cooking oil and wow wow wow. This is an amazingly versatile product. My tip for all you great organic nuts is to add it to smoothie mixes - delicious to the max and you all know how healthy it is too!

25/07/2013, By Monique

Use it for cooking and on my face and it smells divine.

07/12/2011, By Nadèl

It gives a lovely flavour to all food!! And the fact that it is healthy makes it an excellent buy!!

29/11/2011, By Nirvana

I've been using this product for just over a week now and I love it. It has a soft yummy coconut smell. I add it to my warm Tasty Wheat instead of butter and also on my toast instead of butter with some jam! I also use it on my face as a night "cream". It absorbs nicely and doesn't leave my face shiny. I will try it in my cooking and in my hair next.

26/11/2011, By Lize

I am LOVING my coconut oil - in food, on my face, as a scrub or even a hair mask. Divine!

20/11/2011, By Louise

I absolutely love how the the crede coconut oil makes my hair feel and
look! Thanks for all the recommendations.

My bottle just arrived after I ordered it Sunday night... After the second day it is already here!!!
LOVE this product to bits, even after only testing it once. I am so glad that it arrived in time for our weekend away!

25/10/2011, By Melody

Its been a week since I received this product and the only word that comes to mind is WOW!!! I am super addicted...I use it on my hair, my body and add some to my porridge in the morning. I smell yummy everyday!!!!! Thankyou

11/10/2011, By Rina

I have purchased 2 containers of the organic coconut oil, one for me and one for my daughter. We absolutely love it; In fact I soon have to order again because my bottle is under half already and this only in 2weeks!

02/10/2011, By rosemary

love it

30/09/2011, By Lumko

After having used a R10.00 brand of coconut oil (which smelled nothing like the real thing) for a few months, I was overjoyed to discover that I could purchase this amazing oil at "home", as I was already in the process of ordering the oil overseas.

16/09/2011, By Warren

I Received my 1st order today and am extremely happy with the wonderful service and the excellent quality products at great prices! You also have a fantastic website which is very informative of your wide range of products and what I see here online is exactly what I got - this is how it should be! You got a customer for life! Many thanks! :)

12/09/2011, By Jolette

LOVE this product! The smell is heavenly and it works wonders for your hair and skin. I use it as a reverse conditioner (!): first massage into wet hair and leave on for a while, then rinse and shampoo with a clean product. The only thing I had to get used to was the difference in product consistency between summer and winter - in hot weather it's an oil, but in winter its harder than butter and slightly awkward to get out of the jar in the shower. But that definitely won't prevent me from buying it again!

05/09/2011, By Kara

We are also LOVING this! it LOOKS beautiful, it smells delicious it tastes wonderful!!! Very Very nice!

04/09/2011, By Elmarie

This product has done wonders for my hair. I had very dry, coarse hair that just kept on breaking and splitting. Leaving it on my hair ovenight completely fixed it! It tastes good too, I will use it as a cooking oil in the kitchen.

03/07/2011, By Ingrid

Love it!!! i use it as a body moisturiser and a lip balm - it makes my skin feel gorgeous. and it tastes great too!!!

29/06/2011, By PreciousNonhlanhla

I bought the coconut oil mainly for my natural kinky hair and it works wonders! So I tried on pancakes and they turned out lovely! This is the one product that I will always have at my house -:) By the way I also did a bit of price comparisons with other Crede Oil suppliers in SA, FaithfulToNatures price is best -:)

24/06/2011, By Anita

This coconut oil is Magic! I have been using it on my dry skin for a couple of weeks, and it has made a huge difference. Going to try it on my hair next. Love the smell too. However, I have to agree with Jolette on the consistency - it arrived as a firm butter, but one morning when I went to use it, I opened the jar to find it had morphed into Oil overnight! I told you it was MAG
IC!

I absolutely love the organic coconut oil.I initially ordered it for my ethnic hair, but I have tried it on my pancakes. Lovely! Its now going to be one of those things that I never go without.

29/04/2011, By Kari

Completely hooked! I use it as a body moisturiser, eye and lip balm - the smell is divine, like toasted coconut, and it melts into your skin sooo easily.

22/03/2011, By Karen

This is such a versatile product. Great for both inside your body and out. Highly recommend it!

12/03/2011, By Anja

I have 2 kids with severe eczema (4years and 1 year old) as well as my husband. Ever since using the coconut oil to replace all lotions and creams, they have improved a lot! I can't stop telling everyone about how amazing it is!

27/01/2011, By Tiffany

Wow this product is amazing - after three days my skin was so soft, and it smells wonderful!

21/01/2011, By Liesl

Addicted! I use it in cooking, as a body moisturiser, as a hair conditioner. Mixed with a little sugar as a facial scrub. Mixed with a drop of two of lavender essential oil as a body deodorand. Three tablespoons a day helped clear up a bladder infection. Do yourself a favour and go and read up some more on the net about this truly amazing product!
